Xiasha fengshui

History of Xiasha Village in Shenzhen

Before rural urbanization, Xiasha Village in Futian District was a small village composed of six natural villages, including Tung Chung, Dawei, Cunzai, Weizai, Xincun and Dongtou Village. * * * Cultivated land 1.5 million mu or more, with an offshore operation area of 40,000 mu. The villagers' main surname is Huang. They have been farming, fishing and raising oysters for generations, doing it at sunrise and resting at sunset.

Nowadays, there are many tall buildings and shops in Xiasha, lush coconut groves stand on both sides of the road, and straight Xiasha Avenue extends in the area. Luxury and comfortable star-rated hotels welcome tourists from all directions, and the cultural square is wide and beautiful, with large stadiums, swimming pools, cultural and sports centers, commercial shopping centers and health care hospitals.

With the acceleration of urbanization, Futian Shatou Xiasha Industrial Co., Ltd., where Xiasha Village is located, has developed rapidly. It is rare that Xiasha has not forgotten cultural construction while developing modern economy. There are not only magnificent Xiasha archway, HuangSiming Temple, beautiful community cultural square and cultural and sports center to attract Chinese and foreign guests, but now there is another place to carry forward traditional culture, witness the history of Xiasha and show the achievements of reform and opening up-Xiasha Museum. On the occasion of the opening of the museum, the reporter visited the staff of Xiasha Industrial Co., Ltd..

Xiasha Village in Futian District is one of the famous rural tourist attractions in Shenzhen. The village is also famous for its annual cauldron banquet at home and abroad. Today, Xiasha Village ushered in another major event-the opening of Xiasha Museum.

Four exhibition halls display Lingnan culture.

"Shatou and Meilin townships, Shu Qi with mountains and rivers, and Yu Xiu, Zhong You, are a giant family. Therefore, since the past dynasties, people in the giant room have been named after them, and Confucian scholars have heard about it, and their benevolence and filial piety have been written in ancient and modern times; The wind of courtesy is ahead, and it is behind, which is beyond the reach of others. " This is a passage from the Preface of Rebuilding Genealogy in the Fifty-fourth Year of Qingganlong, which is full of praise for Xiasha and also stimulates the reporter's desire to visit Xiasha Museum.

Entering Xiasha community from Binhe Road, the words "Xiasha people welcome you" express the warm hospitality of Xiasha people. Walking on the road of Xiasha community, there are many shops, lush trees, beautiful sculptures and simple residents, which really makes you feel like you are in a paradise.

Walking into the museum, the first thing you see is a group of golden sculptures depicting fishermen, ears of rice and petrels. The staff said that this is the theme sculpture of the preface to the museum, which reflects the people's sincere praise for the prosperity of the new era in Xiasha.

According to reports, Xiasha Museum mainly preserves traditional cultural relics with strong southern Guangdong style and Lingnan style, including ancient cultural relics, sculptures, photo frames and photos. The museum is divided into four exhibition halls to show Xiasha culture from different sides. In the museum, the reporter saw that the majestic horse sculpture, the quaint residential model and the happy sculpture of eating cauldron dishes all showed the long development history and profound cultural heritage of this village.

The first exhibition hall is "a fine horse shows a different side", which mainly introduces the origin of Xiasha. The exhibition hall mainly displays portraits, sculptures, history books and introductions of historical celebrities in Xiasha, such as the sculpture of beginning of spring's ancestor Junma, Huang (commonly known as Gong), the famous revolutionary of 1911, and some cultural relics used by Xiasha people. In the corner of this exhibition hall, there is also a screening hall, which uses advanced screening equipment and can accommodate nearly 100 people. It mainly shows feature films about past lives in Xiasha, where visitors can learn about past lives in Xiasha Village.

The second exhibition hall is "800 Years of Farming Mountains and Reclaiming the Sea", which mainly displays some production and daily necessities used by Xiasha people in the past, including miniature tile houses and some farm tools used by Xiasha villagers. Oyster culture in Xiasha has a history of hundreds of years, and the oysters produced here are popular because of their unique and rare flavor. In this exhibition hall, there is a group of sculptures reflecting the situation of Xiasha people raising oysters, which deeply attracted our attention. It is said that before 1992, villagers in Xiasha went to the oyster farm near Yuen Long and Tin Shui Wai in Hong Kong to plant and collect oysters by raising boats and supporting skateboards.

The third exhibition hall is "Enjoy the human cauldron". Xiasha village has a history of hundreds of years. Every year, during the Lantern Festival and some important days and festive activities, in addition to holding a big pot banquet, we will also dance dragons and lions, sing traditional operas and eat "big pot dishes", looking forward to a peaceful and prosperous country and a bumper harvest in the coming year. According to reports, cauldron dishes consist of 15 kinds of dishes, such as oysters, ducks, pork, eels, squid, bean curd, Zhi Zhu, tooth mushrooms, dried eels, skins, tremella, mushrooms, celery, radishes and so on. There are also some close-ups in the exhibition hall showing the process of making large pots of vegetables. There are also two computer touch screens, which can facilitate people to learn more about large pots of vegetables. On February 23rd, 2002, the Lantern Festival was held in Xiasha Village, which was full of southern Guangdong customs and folk customs. With the scale of 3,800 tables of "cauldron dishes" and 60,000 people tasting them, it won the Guinness World Record and made a sensation. The place to eat cauldron dishes is in front of Xiashazu Temple and HuangSiming Gong Temple. It is a ancestral temple with the architectural style of Qing Dynasty and one of the largest ancestral temples in Shenzhen, located in the cultural square next to the museum.

The fourth exhibition hall is "Look at the present with prosperity and think about the future with wealth". This exhibition hall is mainly a photo exhibition, which mainly reflects the scene that Xiasha Village has achieved great transformation from rural to urbanization after the reform and opening up, especially after the transformation of Xiasha Village into Xiasha Industrial Co., Ltd. in 1992, and has achieved brilliant achievements one after another.

Invest10 million yuan to build Xiasha Museum, aiming at promoting traditional culture and developing community culture.

In 2002, Xiasha Industrial Co., Ltd. made an amazing decision and allocated tens of millions of special funds to build a museum building, which contains museums, libraries, veteran cadres, party member, elderly activity centers, public security monitoring centers and child care centers.

Xiasha has developed from a poor and backward fishing village into a modern community, which has experienced many difficulties and bumps. At present, the office building of Xiasha Industrial Co., Ltd. is still the old building many years ago. Why didn't Xiasha Village repair the office building first, but spent huge sums of money to build the museum building?

A person in charge of Xiasha Industrial Co., Ltd. told us that community culture is the carrier of all work, and the office needs renovation, but it is not in a hurry. The construction of the museum is something that can't wait at all, because many traditional cultures in Xiasha have gradually disappeared, including oyster farming and folk customs. Now many young people, including some local villagers in Xiasha, are not sure about the history before Xiasha, so they need a carrier to preserve the uniqueness of Xiasha.

The person in charge also told the reporter that the first purpose of Xiasha Industrial Co., Ltd. to establish the museum is to develop community culture, record the history of Xiasha for more than 800 years through the construction of the museum, carry forward the excellent traditional culture, and let more people know the unique customs and Lingnan culture of Xiasha; The second is to build the museum into an educational base. Through the museum to train and educate the next generation, let them love their motherland and hometown more. At the same time, encourage them to carry forward the pioneering spirit of their ancestors, continue to forge ahead and create a better tomorrow for Xiasha's future. Huang Wei, chairman of Xiasha Co., Ltd., wrote an inscription for the museum: "To Huang's ancestors, to Xiasha's past, to Xiasha's present and to Xiasha's future."

"Horse Soul" pushes Xiasha to bring forth the old and bring forth the new.

What motivates Xiasha to keep innovating and making progress?

In Xiasha, there are ancestors' last words: "A good horse can stand out from the crowd and let it stand everywhere; As time goes by, the foreign country is still in our country, and the long-lasting foreign country is my hometown. Sooner or later, don't forget your life, sooner or later, you must read your ancestors' incense; I only wish God bless that the men of Sanqi will prosper forever. "This is the ancestor huang 1000 years ago. Huang Gongsheng in Qiao Shan lived in an era of "filial piety comes first", and "parents are here, don't travel far" was the code of conduct at that time, but Huang Gong in Qiao Shan boldly let his sons go their separate ways and start their own businesses. What kind of heart and courage this should have at that time! Today's Xiasha people, descendants of Qiao Shan Huanggongshan, are also full of the spirit of "being the first in the world". Inspired by this spirit, Xiasha people not only brought countless surprises to the world, but also created many development miracles.

In 2004, with the great attention and strong support of the district committee and the district government, Xiasha Co., Ltd. entrusted China Environmental Planning Institute to prepare the construction plan of Xiasha ecological community. Recently, Xiasha has built the first ecological demonstration community in Guangdong Province. At present, the medium-term planning of Xiasha ecological community project has also been put on the agenda, and an artificial wetland environmental education base will be built around the community to create a perfect wetland ecosystem.

Urbanization is very important for people's modernization, and people's cultural literacy and civilized quality depend on long-term edification. Xiasha people are in high spirits today, Xiasha people are rich and enterprising today, and Xiasha community is civilized and harmonious today, all thanks to Xiasha's long-term advocacy and persistence in culture. Xiasha's beautiful environment and convenient transportation have attracted many investors to buy houses. At present, more than 30 enterprises and more than 800 industrial and commercial households have settled in Xiasha, and Xiasha's tourism industry is booming, receiving hundreds of Chinese and foreign tourists every day, realizing the simultaneous development of social, economic and environmental benefits. A group of sculptures in the museum reflect the life scenes of Xiasha people in the past.

Xiasha Village is located in Shenzhen Bay, across the sea from Yuen Long, Hong Kong. At present, the collective land area is about 0 .35 square kilometers, with more than 440 local villagers, 1. 300, and a temporary population of about 40,000. Divide into eight squares. There are monuments such as Xiasha archway, HuangSiming Gongshi Temple, Chenyanghou Temple and Buddha statue, as well as museums and leisure parks built by the village.

This is an ancient village with a history of 800 years, and now it is a bustling place in downtown Shenzhen. 80% of the mangrove area is in Xiasha Village. In the Southern Song Dynasty, Huang Motang moved here and became the ancestor of the Huang family in Xiasha. Future generations make a living by fishing and farming. In order to better thrive on this land and pass it on from generation to generation, mangroves have been planted here to resist the tide.

Today, Xiasha has become a model for the development of Shenzhen collective stock economy. There are many large enterprises in this area, and their businesses are very active. Because of the gradual improvement of public security and standardized management, it has become a livable place.

Looking for productivity in planning

Xiasha Village, which has lived on agriculture and fisheries for generations, was far from the "center" in its early years because it was located on the Shenzhen Bay, and even seemed a bit marginal. Until the 1980s after the reform and opening up, Xiasha was in a backward state in Futian District 15 administrative villages due to the unsatisfactory overall environment.

However, after the rural urbanization in the early 1990s, the newly reorganized Xiasha Joint-stock Company began to gain momentum. Huang, director of Xiasha Industrial Co., Ltd., recalled this course and said that the development of Xiasha in recent years benefited from the sense of being ahead of the times. At that time, a group of leaders of Xiasha joint-stock company put forward that "plan is productivity".

Because Xiasha wanted to develop at that time, the first problem was disorderly planning. An old employee of Xiasha Co., Ltd. said that Xiasha Village was a famous "four-difficult village" at that time, and there was no municipal planning and the building was chaotic. In view of this situation, the company leaders made up their minds to invest more than 3 million yuan to hire British Liberian construction company to carry out the overall planning and design of Xiasha community. As a result, the hard battle of old village demolition has also started.

Tracing the Origin of "Huang" Surname of Baijia in Xiasha, Shenzhen

"A swift horse leaves the plane, and it is strong everywhere. As time goes by, the foreign country is still in our country, and the long-lasting foreign country is my hometown. Don't forget your words sooner or later, you must remember the incense of your ancestors sooner or later. I only wish God bless that Sanqi men will prosper forever. "

In Shenzhen, Guangdong and all over the country, many descendants of Huang were taught to recite this poem at an early age-father and brothers said that with this poem, they could recognize their brothers who were family thousands of years ago.

Where is the root?

"Who am I? Where is the land I come from? where am I going? Where is my root? " ..... A person, no matter where he is, no matter how far he wanders, these are his cares, even his dreams. This endless consciousness of seeking roots has enhanced the sense of identity, centripetal force and cohesion of the Chinese nation.

The prosperity of a surname and the rise and fall of a family have recorded the touching entrepreneurial course of our ancestors, branded the times and reflected the glory of history and culture. There are joys and sorrows, lessons and lessons. This is a living history, without hypocrisy and pretense, without any utilitarian color.

Starting from this issue, we "trace back to the hundreds of surnames in Shenzhen" ... and try to find out the long history of surnames and families in Shenzhen, and explore their social life style, growth and change track of origin, mobility, migration and reproduction, hoping to help Shenzhen youth understand history, love their hometown, love their country and exchange feelings. (Cedar)

Huang is the oldest of hundreds of surnames in Shenzhen recorded in history.

More than 670 years ago/kloc-0, Huang came to Shenzhen from Zhongyuan.

With the Guangzhou-Kowloon Railway as the boundary, Guangfu people are mainly distributed in the west of Shenzhen, while Hakkas are mainly distributed in the east. Therefore, the ancestors of Shenzhen Huang can be traced back to two branches-Guangfu Huang and Hakka Huang.

Descendants of ancient Guo Huang

Huang's main root is in the ancient Huang State (now Huangchuan County, Xinyang District, Henan Province), and there are three branches of Huang's origin.

1, from Won surname. "Compilation of Surnames": "Lu Zhonghou was sealed in Huang and destroyed in Chu, taking the country as his surname".

When he won the world 3,000 years ago, Huang was sealed in the state of Huang, which is now the western part of Huangchuan County, Henan Province, and was made a viscount by the Zhou Dynasty, that is, Huang. During the Spring and Autumn Period, the State of Chu dominated the world, and only the State of Sui dared to compete with it. In 648 BC, Huang was destroyed by the State of Chu. After the national subjugation, the descendants of Huang took the country name as their surname.

2. Late Jin people. Taigui is a descendant of Miao nationality in Jintian, ancient Shao Hao, and later generations respect him as the god of water diversion. During the Spring and Autumn Period, Taiqian's descendants established Shen, Yi, Huang and other countries, which were later destroyed by Jin. Among them, the descendants of Huang Guogong took the country as their surname.

3. Ethnic minorities originated in the ancient south of China. "The Book of the New Tang Dynasty" contains "Tan Guan (in Guangxi) surnamed Huang. Don Juan, Shao Qing, Shao Gao, Shao Wenye. " In fact, this Huang family is a descendant of the adherents of the Huang State. (rainbow)

Tang Hao Wang Jun

He Kuan Soup: During the Han Dynasty, Ba Huang was the prefect of Henan, and was politically lenient. Xuan Di was imprisoned for something. Both the government and the people are crying out their grievances, and finally they have been rehabilitated.

Jiangxia Hall: Huang Xiang of the later Han Dynasty lost his mother in his childhood and was the most filial to his father. Fan my father's mat in summer and warm the quilt in winter: "A Chinese Odyssey, Jiangxia Huang Tong!"

Huang also has surnamed tang, such as Sijing, Yidun, Dunmu and so on. "Chichang Hall" is named after the word "Chi Chang" at the end of Boss Huang's poem.

Motang Huangju Stone Pagoda

This is the tomb of the Southern Song Dynasty, built on the northwest slope of Lianhua Mountain in Shenzhen. It is said that Huang Motang, the ancestor of Xiasha Huang, was buried here.

Now the descendants of Huang from Xiasha Village in the New Territories of Hong Kong, Shangmeilin Village in Bao 'an and Shanghe Village come here to visit their graves and worship their ancestors every year during the Double Ninth Festival.

Motang Huangju Stone Pagoda is the only pagoda-shaped tomb of the Southern Song Dynasty found in Shenzhen, which is rare even in Guangdong. 200 1, approved as a provincial cultural relics protection unit. (rainbow)

Guangfu Huang: Shenshanyan School, Coconut Tree Changchun

● Our reporter intern Sun Yinghai

Tracing back to the Yellow Book in Jin Dynasty

The earliest Huang family in Guangfu, Shenzhen, is the famous "dutiful son of Nanyue" Huang Shu. After the establishment of Dongguan County in 33 1 year of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, his father Huang Jiao came to a village in Baoan County of Dongguan County.

Huang Shuzhi's The Book of Filial Piety has been passed down from generation to generation (this edition has been introduced in detail). People compared him to Zeng Shen, a dutiful son in the Spring and Autumn Period, and put a plaque with the word "Shen Li" on his door. An unnamed mountain next to Huangzhai, also known as "Shenli Mountain" and "Shenshan Mountain", was renamed as "Shenli" (now Shajing Middle School in Shajing Town, Baoan).

After his death, Uncle Huang was buried in "Pig Mother Mountain in Datian Township", next to Datian Road in Buyong Village. In 200 1 year, Peng, an associate researcher of Shenzhen Cultural Relics Management Committee, and local villagers discovered the "Imperial Uncle's Tomb" in a grassy field, which became a sensational news. Mr. Jiang of Buyong Township told the reporter about the search for the "Huangshu Tomb": "Mr. Peng looked for the Huangshu Tomb at 1984, but he couldn't find it, and he never forgot it. I still remember hearing from the older generation that there was such a tomb. Later, it was found to be in a piece of grass, which could not be seen without drilling. The location is only 100 meters away from where Mr. Peng is looking. "

Peng believes that at that time, the southern culture prevailed, and Huang Shu brought the traditional filial piety of the Central Plains from the Central Plains to Shenzhen, and it has always influenced it. He is an important symbol of the great cultural integration between China and Vietnam in Shenzhen.

Guangfu Huangcun and Huangshu

There are many old Huang villages in Guangfu, Shenzhen. Uncle Huang is mentioned in the ancestral halls and genealogy of the villages-Huang in Shangsha, Xiasha and Shangmeilin, Huang in Beitou Village, Nanshan, and Huang in Shanghe Village, Baoan District. Other villagers are proud of this.

The Huaide Huanggong Temple in Shangsha Village is covered with grey tiles. There are marble temples on both sides of the temple gate: "Going up the mountain to scatter the school, Changchun coconut tree". In the adjacent Xiasha Ancestral Hall, you can see the couplets of "spreading the divine power by Ze, and inheriting the fragrance in the prosperous season".

The Huang family in Beitou Village, Nanshan District has been building a village here since the Yuan Dynasty, and it still retains the genealogy compiled during the Tongzhi period of the Qing Dynasty, which records that Huang Shu, a native of Baoan, "gave birth to eight sons, separated everywhere, and continued to cry."

There is a memorial archway rebuilt in Qing Dynasty at the second entrance of Huang Ancestral Hall in Shanghe Village, Baoan. According to Mr. Peng, there are four Huang Shu memorial archways in Shenzhen, and now there is only one left. On the front of the memorial archway, there are two couplets: "A scholar in the Western Jin Dynasty and Southern Guangdong, a six-year-old Lu Tomb is devoted to his life", and on the back, there are couplets "Ming Kai".

Obviously, Huangxing Village in the west of Shenzhen is closely related to Uncle Huang. Mr. Peng told reporters that it is not yet confirmed that these old villagers are descendants of Huang Shu. Because so far, there is no conclusive evidence. "After all, hundreds of years have passed, and genealogy or legend needs further textual research and research."

Although it is still unknown what changes have taken place in the past few hundred years, this phenomenon well illustrates the far-reaching influence of Huangshu on later generations.

Hundreds of years ago, this was a family.

On the map of Futian District, Shenzhen, Shangsha and Xiasha live next to each other. The ancestor was 1 100 years ago in Huangqiao Mountain in the late Tang Dynasty. This man used to be a military commander in Zhejiang and Guangdong. In the Song Dynasty, he was awarded a bachelor's degree, a minister of punishments, and a prince of Shaobao. During the Huang Chao Rebellion and the second great migration of Hakka ancestors, they moved to Shaowu heping town in southern Fujian. Drawing lessons from the royal children's struggle for fame and fortune, he ordered each room to leave only the eldest son, and other children to start businesses in other places, leaving a poem (see the title) as a "password" for future generations of Huang.

Interestingly, the reporter's friend Miss Huang is from Guangxi. When she was three or four years old, her father asked her to recite this poem. She still remembers the story told by her father about an ancestor with 2 1 sons.

The Shahuang family in Shatou has a history of about 900 years in the village, and Jintang is the first ancestor to make a fortune. Shangsha Village was once called "Coconut Tree Village", and the title of "Coconut Tree Changchun" of Huaide Huanggong Temple in the village expressed the people's good wishes.

More than 800 years ago, Huang Motang, a descendant of Huang, founded a village in Xiasha and became the ancestor of Xiasha.

From the name, Jintang and Huang Motang are like "two brothers", but Mr. Peng found that Jintang's grandson is more than 80 years older than Huang Motang. If Golden Hall and Huangmo Hall are brothers, the difference between them is at least 120 years old, which is obviously impossible. They may be "Zuo Ge You Shu" (Zuo Ge, Golden Hall; You Shu, Huang Motang, a different relative.

Huang in Futian village comes from Huang in Shangsha. In A.D. 1 192, Huang, the fourth son of Jindian, moved to the south edge of Songzi Mountain to settle down and led his children and grandchildren to reclaim land. The village name was later named "Futian".

Shanglin Huang is a descendant of Xiasha Huangmo Hall, and there is a "Huanggong Temple in Meizhuang".

Sun Yat-sen's comrade Huang.

Speaking of modern celebrity Huang, Xiasha Huangren will be very proud and respected.

Huang was originally named Huang Congxi. /kloc-joined the Zhong Xing Association in 0/900, and Sun Yat-sen renamed it "Yao Ting". Sun Yat-sen launched the Sanzhoutian Uprising, and Huang was appointed as the vanguard officer in the middle road. He is famous for being brave and good at fighting. After the uprising failed, he went to Nanyang.

After the success of the Revolution of 1911, Huang returned to his hometown Shatou Xiasha to settle down. Sun Yat-sen asked him to be an official, but he refused because he was used to being a beggar and was too lazy to be an official. At that time, the county magistrate of Nantou County was corrupt and insulted women in broad daylight. Huang was very angry and invited the Guangxi Wushu master to give him a good beating. County grandfather bears a grudge, and when he is ill, he is ordered to be poisoned. He is only 50 years old.

People in Xiasha Village attach great importance to Huang. In Huang Siming Temple in the village, Zhang hangs his portrait. Hakka Huang: the hometown of Kengzi for 300 years

Although not as long as Guangfu Huang's history in Shenzhen, Hakka Huang has made great contributions to the development of eastern Shenzhen for more than 300 years after moving in.

The largest proportion of Hakkas in Shenzhen is Kengzi Huang ("Kengzi" is the name of Huang Lao's family). There are now 23 surnames in Kengzi Town, and the surname Huang accounts for 80% of the total population.

There is a saying that Huang Chaoxuan's ancestor is also Huang in the late Tang Dynasty-if confirmed, the Hakka Huang in Shenzhen and the Huang in Guangfu are brothers of the same ancestry.

The ancestor Huang Chaoxuan: jiangbiancun practiced medicine.

Liu Lichuan, a scholar in Shenzhen, collected eight genealogies of Huang clan of Kengzi Hakka. She found that all the genealogies respected Huang Chaoxuan as their ancestor. According to reports, Huang Chaoxuan in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties was a "walking doctor". In the late Ming Dynasty, he moved from Jiaying Prefecture (now Meixian County) to Baima Bowl Kiln in Huizhou, and then to jiangbiancun in Pingshan.

Mr. Huang, who lives in the city belly (that is, Xiushan World Residence), said: "According to the old man, Chao was an official of the Ming Dynasty and began to live in seclusion because he didn't want to work for the Qing Dynasty." There is a saying that Huang Chaoxuan's ancestors were also Huangqiao Mountain in the late Tang Dynasty.

The second ancestor Huang Zhongju: Based on Kengzi

Exquisite medical skills enabled Huang Chaoxuan to quickly accumulate wealth. Later, his second son, Huang Lizhong, stayed in jiangbiancun, and his eldest son, Huang Zhongzhong, moved to Kengzi. Since then, he has developed into a prosperous and wealthy family with at least tens of thousands of descendants.

There is a folk legend that Huang's large-scale development in Kengzi was "unanimously approved": at that time, the land in Kengzi was owned by the aborigines Gao, but at that time, because the boundary had just been restored, Huang Zhongzhong wanted to settle here, so he negotiated with Gao to build two ancestral halls, one for each. Because Gao offended the Feng Shui master, while Huang was very diligent, the Feng Shui master quietly asked Huang to choose a ancestral temple that looked shabby but could flourish. Gao chose the beautiful one without knowing it, and the result is today's situation.

However, experts have another view on this. Liu Lichuan wrote that the background of "resisting Jiangxi and prospering Jiangxi" in the early Qing Dynasty promoted the start and prosperity of the Hakkas in Shenzhen. (Sun,)

Distribution of "ripples" around Hakka?

After the prosperity of the Huang family in Kengzi, dozens of Hakka paddocks were built, most of which were built around the river like ripples. The second ancestor Huang built a flood paddock in the middle and upper reaches of the river, while his son built a castle in the middle and upper reaches of the river. The rebuilt paddock spread around the ancestral temple in a ripple shape.

Among them, the new Qiao Shiju, founded by Hong Wei and the third ancestor Huang Angyan, is a district-level cultural relics protection unit; Longtian Stone House, founded by the sixth ancestor Huang Qiwei, is a provincial cultural protection unit.

Peng introduced that Hakka Huang advocates culture and pays attention to education. When there is a fortress, there is a private school for clan children to study. For example, Guangzu School in Guangxu period was a new school founded by Huang after abolishing private schools in the trend of advocating new learning, and it was the predecessor of Guangzu Middle School.

"Birds Return to Nest" cauldron dishes

Every year during the Lantern Festival, people surnamed Huang in Xiasha have a clan activity-eating "big pots of vegetables".

Xiasha Huang Laobo told reporters that eating "cauldron dishes" originated in the Song Dynasty and was called "Xin 'an cauldron dishes" in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. It turned out to be a wooden basin, four benches and a table for eight people. What is used now is a stainless steel basin, in which more than a dozen dishes are placed layer by layer, and chickens and ducks are placed on it, which means "birds return to their nests" and hope for reunion. Last year, dishes were cooked in three major venues, and 1 0,000 people cooked, fried, fried, boiled, stewed and fried in a large iron pot at10.50, with 52,000 kilograms of materials, 3,800 running tables and 60,000 people served.
